• Write clear, concise, and technically robust reports tailored to client needs.
• Collaborate across disciplines and attend site visits or consultation events as required.

• A degree in geology, hydrogeology, chemistry, environmental science, or a related subject.
• Experience in environmental/engineering consultancy or ground investigation contracting.
• Experience in contributing to/delivering EIAs.
• Strong technical writing and communication skills.
• Knowledge of hydrogeology and contaminated land assessment.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
• A full UK driving licence
• Motivation to work toward chartership with a relevant professional body.
